FIVB publishes Beach Volleyball Challenger and Satellite
Lausanne, May 30, 2007 – The FIVB is pleased to publish the calendar for worldwide Beach Volleyball Challenger, Satellite and Exhibitions events. This calendar comprises 8 men’s and 11 women’s events with prize money totalling over a quarter of a million US dollars. Starting from this season, the points earned at Challenger and Satellite will also count towards the entry points of the SWATCH FIVB World Tour.
The FIVB Challenger and Satellite events offer an excellent experience for promoters to stage successful Beach Volleyball events without requiring the considerable human and financial resources required to stage a SWATCH FIVB World Tour event. Moreover, Challenger and Satellite are offering a great experience to certain international pairs to develop.
